Since we don’t have the real intel we really don’t know.
I can’t speak to whether it was a good decision.

that makes it Kabuki theater.
Someone brought up an old Trump post from 2014 about signaling ahead of time and how it shouldn’t be done. Perhaps he has changed his mind.
And I’m thinking he changed his mind because he is now in a position to receive the information necessary that would change his mind. I further think for him to change it so quickly he had to have gotten something so damning that it required a response.
If Kabuki theatre im 100% for that too. It’s about time we awaken from our slumber of weakness and tell the world once more we are not a country to be crossed and the ME best get their houses in order
